In this thought-provoking lecture, Dr. Zakir Naik discusses polygamy from an Islamic perspective and explains how it can serve as an efficient social solution in certain circumstances. He highlights the historical context of polygamy, the conditions set by Islam for justice and fairness, and how it addresses social challenges such as widows, orphans, and imbalances in male-female population ratios. Dr. Naik also responds to common misconceptions and shows how Islam provides practical solutions while safeguarding women’s rights and dignity.

00:00so one of the reasons is that by nature women are normally more than men that the
00:07reason you find more widowers more widows in the world than widowers the
00:14woman without husband the husband has died is much more than a man whose wife
00:21has died because the life expectancy of a woman is much more this is not the only
00:28reason this is one of the major reason that women are more in number this is
00:31not the only reason why Islam allows a man to have more than one wife there are
00:37many other reasons I'll just start on few of them for example after a man marries
00:42he realizes that his wife is sterile she can't give birth to children so if both
00:51want children and both agree the wife can have no problem since we don't have
00:56children I wouldn't mind my husband managing another woman so that we have
01:01children or hypothetically even if the wife doesn't want so the only option for the
01:07man is that he either gives divorce to his wife and marry the new wife or keeps his
01:15worst wife marry the second wife give the first wife with due rights and marry the
01:20second wife and have children which is better what is the fault of the woman if she's sterile in
01:25other religions you have to divorce her class in Islam if your wife is sterile it is not a sin it is
01:35something which is bad what you do you keep your first wife marry a second wife give equality to
01:42both the wife give respect both the wife take care of both the wives and have children let me give you
01:48another reason maybe a man marries a young man marries a young woman and within a couple of years
01:56there's an accident and in the accident the wife she finds herself that she cannot do the duties of her
02:08wife because of the accident she cannot do the duty of a wife to the husband because of accident she cannot
02:16take care of the children what to do now two options either he divorces the man either either the man
02:26divorces the wife who had accident and marries a new wife or keeps a man is another woman that woman takes
02:34care of the children takes care of him and both happy which is better what is the fault of the woman if she has an accident
02:43what is the fault nothing anyone can have accident let me give you one more reason or maybe the wife has some
02:54terminal illness in the terminal illness she cannot take care of the children she cannot take care of the husband
03:03what can he do what can he do he is the divorces her and marry the new wife or he keep the first wife and marry the second wife
